review 1: It's a pretty good book. I read First, break all the rules before this and liked it so much I thought this would help in a similar way. The method of determining roles were a little too women-oriented. I know that sounds weird being that this is a women's book, but he discussed applying the same principles to your children in trying to develop their strengths. I couldn't tell if I'd be trying to help my husband or son find their role from a list that's intended for a woman. Plus I told my husband about the quiz and then I realized it's a quiz for women. Why do women have these roles, but men (or the rest of the population) just have different combinations of strengths? Wouldn't this have been just as valuable if it was a "now discover your strengths" style book?It s... moreeemed too short. But, maybe that was all that was needed. I just feel like it's lacking a little bit of something.
review 2: Have read it twice because I wanted it to soak in. Love the section that outlines Life Roles. Examples: Advisor, Caretaker, Creator, Equalizer, Influencer, Motivator, Pioneer, Teacher, Weaver. Helps you to understand your personal strengths and to create a life that revolves around these "strong moments". Very helpful for me. There is also an on-line test you can take. This book would be great for a small group discussion of women who knew each other. less

Just a bit too Oprah for me but I am guessing lots of public library patrons will eat it up.

like the way Marcus gives real women experiences, felt connected with them.
